The Crouse Spur is a partly snow-covered and up to 1000 m high rock spur in the West Antarctic Queen Elizabeth Land . On the east side of the Forrestal Range in the Pensacola Mountains, it rises 5 km south of the Kester Peaks .
The United States Geological Survey mapped it on the basis of its own measurements and aerial photographs of the United States Navy from 1956 to 1966. The Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names named it in 1968 after Carl L. Crouse, designer at Ellsworth Station in the Antarctic winter of 1957.
